Liverpool have Daniel Sturridge on the bench for the trip to Crystal Palace after the England international missed the 3-0 defeat of Manchester City.

Sturridge is joined by Philippe Coutinho and Christian Benteke on the bench as Jurgen Klopp, the Reds manager, elects to continue with Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi.

The visitors can climb to seventh in the Premier League table with a victory in the capital, three points adrift of Manchester United in sixth.

Adam Lallana, James Milner and Firmino scored the goals as Liverpool saw off City on Wednesday night.

Palace boss Alan Pardew, meanwhile, has admitted his side are in a relegation fight after ten matches without a win.

Emmanuel Adebayor starts up front for the Eagles while Yohan Cabaye and Joe Ledley are in the centre of midfield.

The hosts are nine points above the relegation zone with ten matches still to play.

Today's teams...

Crystal Palace: McCarthy; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Zaha, Jedinak, Cabaye, Ledley, Bolasie; Adebayor.

Subs: Speroni, Kelly, Lee, Mutch, Sako, Chamakh, Gayle.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Flanagan, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Origi.

Subs: Ward, Toure, Clyne, Allen, Coutinho, Sturridge, Benteke.

0 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: Alan Pardew admitted in the week that his Eagles are swooping dangerously close to the relegation zone but today's match is by no means an easy route to salvation. The hosts are without a victory in ten Premier League matches while Jurgen Klopp's Reds are eyeing a European spot as Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United conspire to throw away their seasons at the top. We're under way at Selhurst Park with a vital three points up for grabs.

6 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: Panic in the visitors' penalty area as Emmanuel Adebayor gallops down the left channel and plays it neatly into Yannick Bolasie, charging through on goal down the middle. Simon Mignolet, the Reds' goalkeeper, however, was having none of it and courageously hurries to the Palace winger's feet to snuff out the danger. Mignolet has conceded 12 goals in five Premier League appearances against Palace.5cc8634a-2548-49e0-8f71-c51d96563132.jpg

12 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: Simon Mignolet's goal is already leading somewhat of a charmed life as Emmanuel Adebayor cannons a header onto the crossbar. It was mightily close for an opener for the hosts but Liverpool survive again. Nothing much Mignolet could do about that. Special mention goes to the wonderful cross by Pape Souare.

19 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: It's become a touch scrappy since Emmanuel Adebayor struck the woodwork as Palace look to frustrate their illustrious hosts before hitting them on the break. Liverpool, meanwhile, are being more conservative in their approach, willing to gradually break Palace down, as they look to close in on the top-six.81e1ce16-83db-4135-94ec-1f6ff09cba82.jpg

24 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: More cause for concern for Jurgen Klopp and his band of Liverpool merry men as Yohan Cabaye ghosts into a pocket of space and unleashes a shot first-time. The Frenchman had to wait for the ball to catch up with him but could only arrow his effort, from 25 yards out, just wide of Simon Mignolet's near post. Close for Palace.
